00:00Oh

00:30Oh

00:57Moi je suis suis athée mais

01:00culture judéo-chrétienne donc ça m'intéresse

01:02Moi ça me

01:04ça me touche parce que j'ai trouvé que c'était

01:05justement un pape qui avait proposé des choses intéressantes

01:08sur

01:09une partie de réforme, la réforme financière

01:12notamment

01:13et puis sur la morale aussi

01:15donc j'espère que

01:18ce sera suivi

01:19son travail sera suivi, je pense qu'il était

01:22bien dans la lignée de Jean-Paul II

01:23et du coup qu'on continue à aller vers quelque chose

01:25de plus adapté

01:28aujourd'hui à notre société

01:29tout en regardant ça

01:31C'est une autre étape

01:33dans notre vie, dans notre

01:35culture et

01:37c'est difficile

01:39de trouver quelqu'un d'autre

01:41aussi

01:43humain, je dirais

01:45qu'est-ce qu'est-ce qu'est-ce qu'est-ce que ça ?

01:47c'est-ce qu'est-ce qu'est-ce qu'est-ce que ça ?

01:49c'est qu'est-ce qu'est-ce qu'est-ce qu'on est?

01:51In my opinion, he was also led by Ratzinger, who was not able to do it, so he had a little

01:56hand on the historical problems of the church.

02:00I don't know until that point, because then, honestly, to understand it, we should be

02:07inside these mechanisms, so it's not a simple thing to understand, but at the beginning

02:12it started strong on the issues of pedophilia, on the issues of violence, on some things

02:21a little delicate.

02:22Yes, it's sad, but in this moment, I'm still in shock, I can't believe it, but it's

02:29very important for us too.

02:31Why?

02:32Why?

02:33I believe that he could recognize the actions of the Catholic Church at a certain level.

02:40I don't ask more details, I'm not really aware, but I remember some things.

02:46There was a tentative, in any case, of evolution, which could possibly go to a revolution,

02:56it's not the word, but in any case, a revolution more in relation to what the world of today

03:02is.

03:03Yes, because we don't know what's going on there.

03:06There is a very, very good film that you may have seen, The Conclave.

03:11I advise you to watch this film, because that's what's going on there.

03:15What's going on there, it's like always.

03:16There will be a fight of power, so who will win?

03:19Don't think it's very different.

03:21It's always a matter of lobbying.

03:23So, we hope that it's going on a day of Pâques, so maybe it's a divine message, I don't

03:29know.
